Fuck,fuck,FUCK!!!Why did I get stuck at 4 traffic lights going from 101 to El Camino Real?? Didn't Dennis Hotlz get elected to fix the traffic problems in this city?? Didn't he spend $250,000 to coordinate the lights?? Well they are not coordinated any more and I and countless others sit in traffic burning $4.00 gas for nothing.The citizens of this Encintas ripped off again!!Fuck,fuck,FUCK!!

The frustration shown by the first poster is indicative of what we are all feeling. The traffic has been especially bad the last week or two. Any accident or street repair causes a major jam, whether it is 101, I-5, Vulcan/San Elijo, Leucadia Blvd., Rancho Santa Fe Rd., or Olivenhain Rd. I seem to have hit them all recently.

Even James Bond was bellyaching about the snarls in council session. It is only going to get worse, a lot worse. The City has plans to upzone and densify the El Camino Real corridor. Gotta generate more tax revenue and satisfy all those state mandates. Thanks James. Thanks Dan. And thanks Mayor Jerome.

You need to talk the the fat guy at traffic engineering. We saw him out there when all of the work was going on at Leucadia Blvd. and Vulcan. I guess the traffic signal guys don't have to drive on the same roads as the rest of us.

About Leucadia

Leucadia is a funky little beach community located in North San Diego county in southern California. Leucadia is the north section of the city of Encinitas.

English spiritualists settled the small coastal community of Leucadia in 1870, and are reputed to have danced, in diaphanous white robes in the little Roadside Park (Leucadia Blvd and Hwy 101).

The spiritualists are the reason so many of the streets are named after Greek gods and goddesses. Leucadia is Greek for "a sheltered place." Heritage Eucalyptus trees, planted in the 1880s, still grace the highway. When President Roosevelt passed through Leucadia in an open car during the Depression, local children climbed the Eucalyptus trees to wave to him.

Change happens slowly in this nostalgic little California beach town. In lieu of fast food restaurants and franchise chain stores, Leucadia has two miles of Mom 'n Pop businesses, and that's the way everyone likes it. The town war cry is "Keep Leucadia Funky."

Leucadia played an active role in the rebirth of the classic Highway 101 shield, restored in 1997, and was part of the successful 101 Campaign to have Highway 101 declared an historic route.

Leucadia is experiencing growing pains and culture clash in these first decades of the 21st century...
